The only word to describe Claire is, amazing. As a first time buyer with various obstacles in getting a mortgage Claire went above and beyond to help me purchase my first home. From the very beginning, Claire was friendly, reassuring and supportive all whilst being honest and managing my expectations. I am certain that if it wasn’t for Claire i wouldn’tbe sat in my home today as i would have given up. I would highly recommend Claire and the team at Belle Masion Mortgages.

If I could give 6 stars I would!! We contacted Paula in the run up to our remortgage date and from the very start Paula and her team were amazing. Paula went through a range of deals with us and secured us the best interest rate. We also chose to redo some of our life insurance policies as circumstances had changed since we took our original policies out, again Paula was extremely helpful and explained all the different options in detail so we could pick what worked best for us. I couldn’t recommend Paula and the Belle Maison team more, they make what can be a complicated process into a simple and seamless process, and Paula was always on hand to answer any questions we had!
We can't recommend Claire enough. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Wouldn't use anyone else.
first time buyer here, big help, guidenc, understanding. would recoment 100%
Paula and Louise have been fab from start to finish! No question I've had has been a bother or too silly, and they've helped make the entire mortgage process really clear - which is exactly what's needed as a first time buyer. Thank you ❤️
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Claire at Belle Maison as our mortgage advisor, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Claire was knowledgeable, approachable, and incredibly supportive. She took the time to explain everything clearly, found us a great deal, and guided us through every step of the process with patience and professionalism. What really stood out was how genuinely invested she was in helping us – she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and was always just a phone call or email away. Thanks to Claire, what could have been a stressful process felt straightforward and even enjoyable. We’re now in our new home and so grateful for all her help. We’d highly recommend Claire at Belle Maison to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor – she’s truly brilliant at what she does.
Biggest of thank you’s to Claire! She helped me through each step along the way all the way to completion day and even after! For someone who really doesn’t know what they’re doing (me) I’m super glad and grateful to have had Claire backing me the whole way, she made the whole buying process go super smoothly and was consistently chasing up solicitors for me when I wasn’t having any luck. 100% recommend Claire to anyone whose going through the buying process! P.S thank you for the cookies!!
Claire helped us find a new mortgage and change the deeds on the house. She was on hand throughout the whole process, ensuring that we understood everything. We totally trust her to do what's right for us and our circumstances. Very happy with the new mortgage product that she found for us. Thanks too to Louise - there was never a time that a communication was not promptly responded to. We were in the loop throughout, even when Claire went on a well-deserved holiday! ☀️😎
I’ll start this review firstly by commenting on Paula as a person, instead of Paula the mortgage advisor. Paula from start to finish of this process has been an absolute superstar. She’s been with us from the beginning and has shown such a keen interest in our lives as a couple, really taking the time to get to know us and what we wanted our future to look like. Paula is professional, compassionate and considerate, and unwaveringly supportive. As a mortgage advisor, Paula has given us exemplary advice, we know we wouldn’t have got the best deal had it not been for Paula. She really took us through every step in great detail and with such understanding, ensuring we were aware of all the pros and cons, which is really useful when you’re selling and buying a home for the first time! We never felt we were being hoodwinked or being sold something we saw no benefit in. Paula and Louise’s responsiveness was very quick which was very appreciated. We would 100% recommend Paula at Belle Maison Mortgages, and can’t wait to come back to her when it’s time to remortgage, or hopefully sooner if not to just check in! Thank you so much for everything!! Xxx

We honestly couldn’t have asked for better support than we received from Paula, our Mortgage Adviser. She has been the absolute best—knowledgeable, dedicated, patient, and truly invested in helping us every step of the way. We genuinely couldn’t have done this without her, and we’re beyond grateful for everything she’s done for us. A huge thank you as well to Louise, who has also been amazing throughout. Her support, responsiveness, and positive attitude made such a difference and helped make the whole process smoother and less stressful. We’re so thankful to both Paula and Louise—they’ve been outstanding from start to finish!
I highly recommend Belle Maison Mortgages, Paula and Louise provided incredible support throughout the mortgage process. They were highly knowledgeable, but also patient and approachable. Both were always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was clear and stress-free. Their guidance made a huge difference, and I felt supported every step of the way. Thank you both x

It’s been a pleasure working with Paula, absolutely fantastic what she as done for me, couldn’t ask for better
Jodie was very helpful and she was always there when i needed her help as being first time buyers, she managed to get us a great deal despite work circumstances . Would highly recommend! Thanks so much
From the first phone call to completion of our new mortgage Claire has been amazing, always on hand to answers any questions or just generally listen to me vent 🙂 she has been fabulous, gone above and beyond to push the new mortgage through and just a genuinely lovely lady. Would highly recommend Claire for all your mortgage needs
100% recommend Jodi for anything relating to mortgages, insurance etc. Jodi has been brilliant with communication, explaining things to me, arranging meetings around my busy schedule and supporting me with the best decisions. I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me and will continue to do for me! Amazing 👏🏼

I would 100% recommend Claire. I was a first time buyer with lots of questions and Claire was always able to answer them all and never made me feel silly. Claire was always there at the other end of the phone or email and would always get back to me promptly. Claire arranged my meetings with her around my working hours and was so flexible with me. I cant thank Claire enough. I would definitely use her again! Thank you so much 🤍
Claire at Belle maison has been amazing through my first time buy! Also Louise has been so helpful with getting updates.
Paula has been amazing for me & my partner! after being told from a previous broker it was near on impossible for us to get a mortgage, Paula searched and got us one really fast! She’s really amazing & professional! I would definitely recommend 🙂
We had an incredible experience with Paula at Belle Maison. As first time buyers who had no knowledge of how the process of buying a property works, Paula was there to guide us through the process. She ensured we got a great mortgage deal and the best insurances for our circumstances. We had lots of questions and often needed things clarifying but this wasn’t ever too much trouble for Paula. Everyone told us buying a home would be stressful but this wasn’t the case thanks to Bella Maison. A massive thank you to everyone at Belle Maison for helping us secure our first home.
Amazing service from start to finish. Made the whole process so stress free for us moving into our first home. Huge thank you to Paula and Louise, couldn't recommend enough!
We received a top class service from Paula and Louise throughout the house purchasing process. One sale fell through, but they were able to secure the best deal for us when we needed them again. I have and will continue to recommend this company to anyone looking to buy a home in the future.
We would absolutely recommend Claire and the belle maison team. not actually looking to move we saw our dream home 7 weeks ago with a deadline to be completed by 31st March I contacted Claire to see if she could help us arrange a mortgage. Claire quickly got to work sourcing us options going above and beyond nothing was too much trouble. Claire fitted in our calls around our busy work schedules mostly out of normal working hours to ensure that we had the best package for us and an offer in place ready for us to proceed. once the mortgage was in place claire sorted out our life insurance which has been made more complex due to my age and medical history she has found the best package for us to give us the peace of mind we need. fast forward 6 weeks after numerous emails, texts and teams calls we have finally got over the line and moved in ahead of schedule yesterday. We couldn’t have done it without Claire's patience and knowledge of the products she has access to. thank you so much Claire!!!
Couldn’t recommend Paula at Belle Maison Mortgages anymore! She made our house buying process so smooth and helped us every step of the way. We had one house purchase fall through and Paula was there to support us through it all. We are so grateful to Paula and Louise!! Thank you for helping us secure our dream home 🤩
New home weekend! Claire was absolutely amazing in the service she provided to me and my husband buying our family home! We saw our dream home and wasn't sure if we could make it work but Claire knew all the answers, with quite a complicated mortgage, Claire figured out the best deals for us! We are now settled in our new family home waiting on the arrival of our 1st baby. 🏠 We would 100% recommend Claire and Belle Maison Morgages to anyone that is looking to move 😍 thank you again.

We can’t thank Claire Knowles enough during our move process. Absolutely amazing service. Me and my partner were first time buyers and Claire was exceptional throughout. She had answers to all our daft questions and is a lovely person. Highly recommend, thank you once again!
Claire was recommended to us by a family friend and we’re so glad she was, she has helped us so much throughout the process. She was always available to speak to and respond to emails even out of normal work hours which when you’re working is a massive help! Each step was always explained to us and we were kept up to date constantly. We’re so grateful for all her help and would highly recommend. The present that she got us delivered to our new home really topped off the service!
I honestly couldn’t recommend Paula enough. I’m a mortgage advisor myself and I wouldn’t dream of using or trusting anyone else with my mortgage needs. This is my second time using Paula and following what could only be described as a really difficult time it just felt like I was catching up with an old friend. She is professional, knowledgeable and just an all round lovely person. She is always so prompt to respond to any emails, texts or calls. I will absolutely be back in the future, and would recommend Paula & her team to anybody!
Claire was so helpful, she talked us through our options and kept in touch with us throughout. Claire was so warm and friendly and talked to us in a way that made us feel really comfortable to ask a million questions and know Claire would answer them with patience and understanding. We’re now happily settling in to our new home and that wouldn’t be the case without Claire's help, THANK YOU!

Great experience with Claire. Took us through everything and was always super quick to answer emails/phone calls. Would highly recommend! Thanks Claire!
We’ve used Paula for all our house moves and we’ve always received the most outstanding service. She really goes above and beyond to get you the best deal and I can honestly say she’s an expert at what she does. Paula has the right balance with her professionalism and making you feel instantly comfortable. Thank you for everything Paula. Kelly & Tom x
Had the best experience with Belle Maison. As a solo first time buyer, I was going in blind and didn’t have a clue about mortgages. Paula made everything so clear and easy, she explained the whole process in such a friendly and non-judgmental manor, which was something I was worried about since not having any knowledge on the whole thing. Being self employed I expected it to be more difficult to get a mortgage offer since I only had one years worth of accounts, however Paula managed to apply for and receive a fully agreed offer within 48 hours! Louise was brilliant with chasing up solicitors and making sure things were on track from start to finish. All my questions were answered and the team were very easy to contact and I always received prompt responses. Highly recommended Belle Maison to everyone, thank you again!
5⭐️Highly recommended Paula and her team for your mortgage, remortgage and any insurance you require! Buying our home and organising our insurance was made stress free from the moment Paula picked up our case. Work schedules are always busy and Paula was accommodating and took the guess work away. Paula and her assistant Louise never missed a beat and kept us up to date throughout and any questions were answered in a timely manner. We were informed every step of the way and they chased our solicitors to ensure a timely completion. When making insurance choices Paula went through each option in depth to ensure that our needs and requirements were met to enable us to get the best deal. Belle maisons commitment to finding you the best deal, professionalism, expertise and friendly compassionate manner are the reasons I would never hesitate to recommend! Thank you ☺️
Paula helped us navigate through every stage of finding and applying for a mortgage. She was consistently contactable, and routinely checking for any improved mortgage offers right up to the exchange of contracts. Louise ensured our solicitors weren’t dragging their feet and chased for updates without us having to ask. Paula also helped us understand and ultimately choose the best insurances for our situation, ensuring we got the best prices available, with the best terms. Being there to hold your hand throughout the whole process, Belle Maison Mortgages really does make a notoriously stressful part of purchasing a house as plain-sailing as it can possibly be. No hesitations in recommending them at all, thanks Paula and team!
Fantastic experience buying a home with Belle Maison. Attentive, compassionate and consistent all the way through from enquiry to completion. Paula and Louise did a stellar job answering any and all questions that we had, and guided us through the process brilliantly. Highly recommend for all things home and insurance. 5 ⭐️
I would highly recommend Paula and Louise, they were helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and kept us informed at every stage. Being first time buyers, we wouldn’t have had a clue where to start or what to do. Thank you both again ☺️

Amazing service, Claire always goes above and beyond in every way. I genuinely wouldn't go anywhere else.
Amazing service, I would never go anywhere else for any of my mortgage needs.
CALLING ALL FIRST TIME BUYERS! Being a first time buyer I didn’t know where to start, my busy work schedule left zero time for me to chase up all the right people and get all the arrangements in order. Thankfully Paula accommodated and worked round me, she communicated with the estate agents and solicitors, helped me book viewings all the way to filling in solicitors paperwork. I literally had nothing to worry about Paula handled everything from getting the best mortgage to making sure I was fully protected with the right insurances. One minute you're answering a few questions and the next you've got a date to view a house. In no time at all I was a homeowner all thanks to Paula's quick and efficient service✅
Paula made remortgaging easy for us. Happy to answer any and all questions when needed, nothing was too much for her. Lovely lady and will use in the future! Thanks so much for your help x
Me and my husband couldn't recommend Belle Maison enough. Paula was absolutely amazing from the get go and really helped take some of the stress away that comes with moving house. We really couldn't have done it without her. If you need a mortgage advisor- look no further 🙂 x
Paula and Louise were phenomenal throughout, always kept me in the loop, reassured me and answered any and all questions I had. Would highly recommend Paula for anyone, especially first time buyers like myself, as she made the whole process so much easier. Thank you both for getting me into my new house!

Paula and Louise were fantastic in helping us find the best mortgage deal and insurances to suit are needs. They were always available to answer any questions, knowledgeable, friendly and filled us with trust and confidence. As first time buyers the whole process took under 12 week and we will be using again when our deal ends. Would 100% recommend.
100% recommend Jodi for anything relating to mortgages, insurance etc. Jodi has been brilliant with communication, explaining things to me, arranging meetings around my busy schedule and supporting me with the best decisions. I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me and will continue to do for me! Amazing 👏🏼

Claire Knowles has been fantastic sorting a mortgage for our new home. From start to finish she has worked with us to find the best deal. She is highly recommended.
Just moved into our forever home! Without Kelly this would not of been possible. She went above and beyond to make the process as easy and stress free as she could. Really helpful and gave us the best advice. Would highly recommend!
Jodi was absolutely brilliant and made everything as seamless as possible. Highly recommend! Thanks again for getting us the best mortgage deal 🙂

Jodi Kendall delivered outstanding service, expertly guiding us to secure the best mortgage deal. She provided clear explanations throughout the process and proactively searched for better options, ultimately securing a deal that saved us a significant amount of money. Her diligence and expertise were truly impressive.

I honestly don't know how people buy houses without Paula! I really couldn't recommend Paula highly enough, without her I doubt we'd have gotten the house of our dreams! Paula took us on after the banks said we'd never get a mortgage, and she got us an offer within a matter of days. She went above and beyond many times throughout the process, I feel like she was my counsellor as well as mortgage advisor😂 Paula explained every step of the process and gave regular updates so we knew exactly what to expect along the way. The best thing about Paula is that she is so unbelievably passionate about her job that she sacrificed (many) hours of her own personal time to help us get our dream home. The best in the business 🤍
Paula was personable and professional throughout helping us with our mortgage and insurance & ensured we got the best rates available for us. Paula & Louise were continuously chasing the solicitors for updates on our sale & kindly dropped off a gift once we had moved into our new place. We would highly recommend anyone to use Belle Maisonette.

Paula and Louise have been absolutely incredible throughout the whole process. I was dealing with a very very tricky seller and estate agent who made the process of buying 10x more stressful by constantly changing up things but Paula sorted everything so quickly, easily and efficiently it made everything much more bearable. Paula helped me find the best mortgage rate, talked me through everything in a way I could understand as a first time buyer, helped me anytime I had any questions and was always on hand at the drop of a text to explain anything to me. It really felt like I had someone in my corner who I could rely on to make something so stressful as easy as possible and I can't thank Paula and Louise enough. I have throughly enjoyed the whole process working with Paula and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible mortgage broker (and already have done multiple times!)

We had an exceptional experience working with Claire throughout the home-buying process. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to finding the best mortgage option for us. She took the time to explain all the details, answered all of our questions, and ensured that we felt comfortable and confident with our decision. Claire was always responsive, kept us updated at every step, and made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and straightforward. We would highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a mortgage!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Working for a Mortgage Club I know how vital it is to choose the best Mortgage Advisor. I can say without a doubt that Claire is one of the very best. She is extremely knowledgeable, diligent and professional. Claire found us a fantastic mortgage and we had an offer within 24 hours! And even when her job was done and we were struggling with our Conveyancers, Claire continued to support us until completion. My husband and I highly recommend Claire. So much so that we've recommended her to a friend who has now purchased their first home thanks to her. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Would 100% recommend Paula for all your mortgage and insurance needs. We had be trying for 4 months to arrange an equity release on our existing mortgage to fund an extension and after loads of messing about we were offered a lower borrow than we needed with the condition of paying off other debts we hadn’t planned to do. We were at the point of giving up when I decided to try Paula for advice, within 8 days we had borrowed exactly what we needed at a better rate and with no conditions!!! Paula kept me informed the whole way through the process and was patient and helpful with all my questions and anxieties after such a bad experience! We also looked at our current insurance policies and discovered we didn’t have the level of cover we thought we had for the past 12 years!! Again Paula was able to advise on the level of cover we needed and recommended the best policies that actually pay out when you need it! Great for peace of mind and competitive pricing too. My only regret is that I didn’t contact Paula in the first place and wasted 4 months! Great communication, friendly, knowledgable efficient service, we will be back when the fixed rate expires in 2 years 😀😀
Me and my partner were looking for a Mortgage advisor and Claire was recommend to us. We had many issues due to some missed payments previous to our search for our home making the mortgage process very complex. Claire was very informative and honest regarding our options due to the missed payments. Claire explored every option and worked out what was best for us in our personal bracket, she didn’t stop until she got us the deal that was suitable for us. She kept us informed during each and every part of the process (which was a god send as I am very impatient haha) she was always up beat and positive even when we had bad news regarding mortgage providers. She did everything we expected and beyond. I would recommend Claire to anyone! The process was stress free on our behalf as Claire dealt with everything. We are now in our dream home that we didn’t think was possible and this is thanks to Claire! She even sent us a lovely little gift for our first home, which i think is so thoughtful! Thank you so much Claire! It was a pleasure 🙂
After being told by a large broker that there was no chance of a mortgage, I found Paula! Paula was very knowledgeable and found the best deal for me, even though I was told there was no chance of a mortgage offer!! Paula is extremely friendly and makes it feel as if you’re talking to somebody you’ve known for years. I would recommend Paula to absolutely anybody, no matter how many questions or what time it was, she was always quick to reply. Thank you so much Paula!

What's the process?
Get in touch!
You can call, email or send us your details via our handy form. Once we receive your enquiry, we'll reach out to you to have a chat about what we can do to help you along your home buying journey. Following this we'll arrange a time for an initial appointment that suits you.
Initial Consultation
Your initial consultation can be done remotely over Teams, over the phone, or if you prefer face to face.
During your initial consultation with us, we'll take the time to understand your unique situation and discuss your mortgage needs. We'll ask lots of questions to make sure we can tailor our recommendations to suit your unique circumstances.
AiP
Your dedicated mortgage adviser will explain the buying process and will work with you to calculate how much you're able to borrow.
With your consent, an Agreement in Principle (AiP) can be completed which provides you with confirmation a lender is happy to lend based upon your circumstances. The AiP is a non-binding offer by the lender that they may be able to offer you a loan based on the information you have provided and subject to their underwriting requirements.
It should be noted that an AiP is not a guarantee that the lender will grant a loan.
House Hunting!
Once you have an Agreement in Principle, you are ready to start viewing houses! We will keep in touch until you have found the perfect home and are ready to apply for the mortgage.
Application and Completion
We will then complete the application with you with the chosen lender and submit all the necessary paperwork on your behalf, liaising with you, yours and the sellers estate agents and solicitors right through to the day of completion. We're not satisfied until we get a picture of you holding the keys to your new home!

The only word to describe Claire is, amazing. As a first time buyer with various obstacles in getting a mortgage Claire went above and beyond to help me purchase my first home. From the very beginning, Claire was friendly, reassuring and supportive all whilst being honest and managing my expectations. I am certain that if it wasn’t for Claire i wouldn’tbe sat in my home today as i would have given up. I would highly recommend Claire and the team at Belle Masion Mortgages.

If I could give 6 stars I would!! We contacted Paula in the run up to our remortgage date and from the very start Paula and her team were amazing. Paula went through a range of deals with us and secured us the best interest rate. We also chose to redo some of our life insurance policies as circumstances had changed since we took our original policies out, again Paula was extremely helpful and explained all the different options in detail so we could pick what worked best for us. I couldn’t recommend Paula and the Belle Maison team more, they make what can be a complicated process into a simple and seamless process, and Paula was always on hand to answer any questions we had!
We can't recommend Claire enough. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Wouldn't use anyone else.
first time buyer here, big help, guidenc, understanding. would recoment 100%
Paula and Louise have been fab from start to finish! No question I've had has been a bother or too silly, and they've helped make the entire mortgage process really clear - which is exactly what's needed as a first time buyer. Thank you ❤️
